Detail of how NOC impact on Canada PR

Nora is a software developer who received a NOI (Notification of Interest) from OINP under a tech draw. He submitted his EOI (Expression of Interest) to the federal Express Entry Pool. After evaluating the applicant’s profile through the provincial government in the Express Entry Federal pool, he will be issued an NOI through an Enhanced PNF.

The NOI got issued to Nora as he met the Ontario tech draw’s requirements, with the  primary NOC code from the list of Ontario target occupations. Nora can submit his provincial application with the Ontario government.

For doing that, Nora must submit required documents to the Ontario government, such as reference letters, as well as the NOC code he asked for.  

Each employer will provide reference letters, allowing the province to confirm that the NOC assesses his job duties and responsibilities, pointing to his federal Express Entry profile.

Things to do if NOC changes during the PR application

The provided documents can be used to verify that the candidates' job roles and responsibilities with an NOC on the province/territory's targeted occupation list.

Here are some situations to understand the scenario better:

 Situation 1: Nora claimed that his job profile is linked with (Software Developers and Programmers) NOC 21232 on his application. The Ontario government has assessed the job more closely associated with NOC 21234 – Web Developers and Programmers.

In the 1st situation, though Nora's job doesn't match the stated NOC, the application may be acted on because his aligned NOC is still on the Ontario government's list of the targeted occupations for tech draws. The OINP will reach out to the person for clarification.

Situation 2: Even after claiming NOC 21232 (Software Developers Programmers) on his application, the Ontario government assessed that his job was more aligned with NOC 22220- Computer Network and Web Technicians.

In the 2nd situation, as Nora's assigned NOC is not on Ontario's targeted occupations list, Nora will not be accepted for a provincial nomination through the OINP and will be rejected.

Issues aligned with different NOCs

Applicants who notice their primary NOC was changed and are not listed as a targeted NOC before submitting their NOC can step back with their application, as it would be either refused or non-acceptable.

Applicants who submit their application after learning its state can try to take it back, but they will likely lose the payment they made for their provincial application.

Issues that can change NOCs at the Federal level

A change in NOC after receiving the Ontario nomination might affect a candidate’s Permanent residency application with the federal government.

The candidate must have the same NOC-specific provincial nomination as the primary occupation for which they initially applied to the province.

If the applicant changes the NOC code at the final stage, they might get refused because they do not qualify within the criteria for the provincial nomination.  

Reasons why NOC matters the most:

NOC codes are an essential part of the candidate’s acceptances criteria for Express Entry Canada’s application management system for three immigration programs:

• The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
• The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
• The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
